Mozilla Firefox 4 now available for Android and Maemo users

Mozilla Firefox 4 now available as a release candidate for Android and Maemo users. Firefox 4 RC also has improved startup speed, text formatting on zoom, copy-and-paste and generally better UI among other goodies. We don't know about you, but it sounds good to us. Just to remind you that yesterday Opera announced its new Mini 6 and Mobile 11 browsers, so we have plenty of new offerings in the mobile browser race, which can only be a good thing.

The desktop version of Mozilla's Firefox 4 browser is now available for download, and its mobile counterpart is also offered as a release candidate for Android and Maemo users.

The guys at Mozilla claim that the new (and potentially final) version of their mobile browser offers some noticeable improvements in several key departments - like faster scrolling and better page load speed - while it retains and builds on everything that's good about Firefox's mobile version - like improved Firefox Sync, tabbed browsing, Firefox Add-ons (over 150 present and still counting) and the Awesome Screen feature.
